SATYAM Job Placement Paper

hi friends...this is nishant...i am pursuing 3rd year btech in ece stream
from st.marys college of engineering,hyderabad.we had off-campus by satyam
on 7-2-2008 at Malla reddy college of engineering..this pool drive was
really big that 21 colleges had participated and 3000-4000 students wrote
the written exam.only 300 of them cleared the written exam.116 of them had
cleared the h.r and finally got the job.and i am the one of them.i would
like to share my experiences with you,as i was very much benefited by the
previous experiences of the candidates.

DAY 1: written paper:
friends there were 10 questions from reasoning and 5 from aptitude. the
paper was not so tough..but it was really time consuming.so please try to
scan the paper first and try to complete the aptitude questions in starting
5 minutes.then rest of the time you complete the reasoning part.

15 questions,30 min and +1 for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.
1) a question like this he gave a=0 and b=1 and asked us to find the value
for the number 5
ans. (bab) convert 5 to binary...(101)
2) missing number series..damn tough....(dont attempt,its simply waste of
time)
3) from time and work....a and b can do a piece of work in 20 days. b and c
can do it in 12 days. c and a can do it in 10 days. then how much time will
a alone would take to do the work..(direct from r.s.agarwal without changing
the numbers)
4)from reasoning..a bit difficult
5)again reasoning..the question was very big
6)a rectangle problem from areas...
7)logical deduction
8)he gave ten statements and we have to deduce the 11 statement by using
this 10 statements
9) a problem on Compound interest(direct from r.s.agarwal without even
changing the numbers)
10)a passage was given a logical inferecnce should be made.(very big..but
easy one)
11)a problem on permutations....(damn easy)
12)a problem from data interpretation..it was on line graphs...very big..not
easy to deduct the solution
13)a problem from profit and loss(direct from r.s.agarwal...he didnt even
changed the numbers)
even the other two were from reasoning...

finally friends...it totally depends upon ur time mangagement..it doesnot
depend how many questions you have answered,it depends how many questions
you have answered correctly.so even if u know 5 out of 15 perfectly,then
just answer 5 questions.for a matter of fact..i answered 8 of them and i was
confident on 5 questions and the remaining 3 answers which i wrote were from
reasoning..so i donno how many were correct.but i luckily cleared written
test

DAY 2:MORNING:
they gave the resume form and asked us to fill the details
correctly(mandatory) even a small approximation in ur percentages or
malpractice in writing ur backlogs wasnt allowed.then they gave an essay and
asked us to write on it in less than 300 words.and time limit was only 10
min.

AFTERNOON: H.R ROUND:(for me it was 40 min... he asked questions from all my
3 years of ece)
me: may i comin sir
H.R: comin....pls take ur seat
H.R: TELL ME ABOUT URSELF?
ME:said(please prepare for this before itself properly because he will be
testing ur communication skills)
